To be blunt the only reason I wanted a private list is I did not want
to give our a price for something at cost if there was a good chance
it would get back to my supplier, thats all.

As for Yahoo I dont like the small print in there terms, but with a
total message broadcast load of 300,000 messages a month from this
list even if i was on ASDL i would not want that on my server, OK i
know that the virus checker only has to check 1200 messages a month
but my server would still have to crack each messages out to 250+
members
